We're excited to have you join us in the Lone Shark Puzzle Party! We've just hit our goal. This is great news! We really appreciate your support!

Over the course of the campaign, there will be many puzzles for your amusement and edification. Here's a few to look out for.

We've got a full puzzlehunt for you in this campaign. Sharky's Puzzlehunt is a special puzzlehunt that's available for you now in its entirety. It's the same one as in our last Kickstarter campaign, but with the added bonus that you can binge right through it today. It's just some of the many freebie puzzles on our site.

In Sharky's Puzzlehunt, our customer service shark Sharky McSharkerson has foolishly agreed to a deal with marketing consultant Butcher T. Billiard-Marker. Butch has concocted a whole bunch of terrible ideas he wants Sharky to include in the campaign. He'll provide Apex Marketing's incredibly marketable ideas. You can help Sharky get out of his deal by solving the puzzles.

To start out, find six hidden puzzles on this campaign page (including the video), each of which leads to a shark-friendly word or phrase that is five to ten letters. One, for example, can be found by fgnegvat ng Arcghar'f jrncba naq ernqvat yrsg gb evtug. Find and solve all six hidden puzzles on this page and you can solve the Day 1 puzzle. If you want some help, check out our puzzle help page or join our Lone Shark Discord.

Enter your answers on the Sharky's Puzzlehunt site. Each puzzle leads to a badge. That's a digital puzzle trophy that you can use as your social media avatar, or just hoard them in your computer somewhere. Enjoy puzzling with us, and help Sharky get free from Butch's marketing clutches!

You can download samplers of The Hunting on the Shark, Mindspaces, and The 12 Days of Christmas on our sampler download page! Just go to this page and you can start solving today!

There will be riddles! We're trying out a new feature on BackerKit called Trivia Challenge. You can join a sea life-themed team and answer the questions — and then come up with your own answers! You can find the questions on the Trivia Challenge tab. The first one is up now. You can answer it and get on the leaderboard. We'll give you 48 hours after each poll launches to answer before we launch the next one.

Like the cryptic PDF in this campaign, this riddle poll game is based on "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Sharky gets gifts from the gifts in the song, starting with the Partridge in a Pear Tree. We'll post challenges on each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the campaign.

Thanks for playing our puzzles. We're thrilled to have you in our Puzzle Party!
